Welcome

My goal is to help people develop a deep connection to SELF.   A successful psychotherapy experience strengthens emotional understanding. It is a process that fosters healing, wisdom and generates empathy. It brings renewed emotional, spiritual and physical health to each individual person. 

Using compassion and skill (50,000 hours of clinical experience) with each of my clients, I teach and guide them to discover Self. This discovery allows them to heal the heart, mind and body. The creation of wholeness within is a gift you give to yourself and to your friends and family. Self transformation has the potential to impact the world around you.

Approach & Specialties

My approach is extraordinarily compassionate and non-judgmental while at the same time solution and goal-oriented. Knowledge is power. I teach my clients evidence-based psychological processes that work. I want my clients to become independent in these skills so they can use them everyday on their own. I have had hundreds of people come to me after using outmoded therapies that don’t work. It gives me joy to see these same people finally become their best selves.

Look inward and receive enlightenment and I promise the outward evolvement will naturally follow. I integrate internal transformative processes with cognitive behavioral processes. I have found this combination of therapies to be the quickest and most effective for change and relief from pain.

I specialize in Internal Family Systems approach (IFS), developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. This enhanced mindfulness-based approach is particularly effective for individuals, couples and families struggling with:

• Passive Aggressive Behavior

• Procrastination

• Relationship Problems

• Addiction

• People Pleasing

• Perfectionism

• Inner Critic

• Eating Issues

• Depression

• Anger

• Low Self-esteem

• Shyness

My Practice

For more than 30 years, I have had the privilege of treating people from all walks of life. Individuals and couples struggling but desirous of greater peace and harmony in their relationships. Families looking to create connection and love. I am extensively trained and astute at mapping out areas in people’s lives that need attention. I teach people in-the- moment, new ways to resolve conflict, and eventually to independently create harmony within themselves and outside themselves.

Children having difficulty in school, suffering from certain forms of learning challenges or bullying, or adolescents experiencing emotional turmoil or lack of direction. 

I obtained my Master's Degree in Social Work from Adelphi University and after 6 years of supervised clinical experience I received my New York State R credentials.

Outside of my formal education, I began learning psychological techniques from my dear Mother, beginning at the tender age of 11 years old. She was my greatest mentor.

My ability as a therapist extends across several treatment disciplines. I am trained and certified in:

• Gestalt Therapy with Dr. Jay Early of the Long Island Therapy Center

• IFS (Internal Family System) Therapy

• Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology

• Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the Albert Ellis Institute

• Couple’s Therapy by John Gottman and Imago Therapy by Harville Hendrix
